MEETING OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AMENDMENTS PLASTERED TO POOR BOND ORDINANCE. Some Particulars Regarding tho Changes A Long Debate Develops Sentiment in Favor of tho Amend mentsHigh Charges Against General Phlnney Engine Company. Resolutions. A few more crucks were luken tit the poor bond ordinance In common coun cil last night and the measure cumo out of the scrimmage with $196,500 worth of now amendments plastered on It. What has hnppencd to tho measure In its brief but violent career may he inferred from the following: The ordinance as reported by com mittee J."sa.W0 Amendments proposed at meeting of Friday, Dec. 23 203, 400 The ordlnanco when consideration of It began at last night's ses sion ;S8,4W What common council did to It last night IW.COO The present condition of the ordi nance JDSI.SKX) What has happened to It since It appeared In common council 401, !KK) Following- are the particulars of tho amendments made to the measure last night: SOMK PARTICULARS.

It was taken out on motion of K. P. Wenzel, of that ward. The ordinance passed second reading as amended. Mr. Culpin had the meeting by the ears for a space of llfteen minutes in considering an amendment offered by him to strike out every item in the or dinance excepting $210,208.1G for paying tho city's portion of sewer construction. $74,203.84 for parks, $IG7,C2G for the West Side vinduet and $00,000 for opening Wyoming avenue. Mr. Cnlpln was manly in his declaration that the items mentioned and amounting to $."12,000, were the only Items of general benefit to the city at large; that the purely local amendments previously offered by him weie no more necessary than amendments offered by others, and that he didn't approve of sucrlllcing the generally popular items by making the whole measure a horse on which to ride the purely local items of expense. If the ordinance went before tho peo ple, Mr. Calplu held, burdened with every net ward scheme In existence, why the people would stamp their dis approval on the whole thing that was all. Other members contended that the very reasons Mr. Oalpln gave for his belief were evidences that the bond measure would prevail when the people voted upon It. The view was tnken that the main items would not got sup port If the voters were not tempted by something offered for their Individual wards. While Mr. Keller admitted that this last view might piovo correct, that was no Indication thut councils would be doing right in consenting to bo inllu enced by it. He did not think the measure should Involve a bond isfeue of more than $300,000 nr $400,000. AMENDMENTS WILL STAND. The debate was long nnd finally de veloped the sentiment of a large ma jority in favor of all the unicmiinenta and the measure passed second read ing by title as amended, without a dissenting vote. "That the mayor be requested to notify councils of his reasons for not complying with the concurrent resolu tion directing him to enforce the pro visions of the ordlnanco requiring the Issue of transfer tickets on the Helle vue line," wus a resolution Introduced by Mr. Calpln and adopted. He said the Scraiiton Railway nfllciuls had ex pressed their willingness to give trans fers to the Kynon and Luzerne street lines, but not to the South Side lines. This latter, Mr. Calpln thinks, the com pany can be forced to do under the provisions of Its charter and franchise and for the purpose of detennlnging this he urged the adoption of the resol ution. New measures were Introduced us fol lows: Mr. Reei-e An oidlnunco proldlng for three additional eleciilc lights in the First ward. (Referred). Mr. Oriel An ordinance awarding $t.'W0 to James Flynu for damages to his prop, erty on Luzerne street on account of the dceetlon of natural water courses. (Ite ferred). Mr. Wenzel An ordinance providing for a new permanent man for Relief Engine company, tllefcrred). Mr, Jackson A resolution directing tho city clerk to advertise the property own ers' petition for a brick pavement on Sanderson avenue between Green Rldse and Market streets. (Adopted). Mr. Jackson A resolution directing the city clerk to have the Dickson Manufac turing company examine General Phln ney engine and furnish an estimate of the cost of repair, und for the clerk to then Invite a proposal also fiom tho American Flro Engine company. (Adopt ed). OHAROE EXOnmTANT. To Mi. Jackson's josolution concern ing the General Phinnoy engine, there was quite a little attention devoted. Mr. Jackson t'ald tho engine company's verbal estimate through its represen tative, who was heard In select coun cil, to do tho work for $1,000, wus ex orbitant: that the cost should not be over $C0&. Mr. Zlzleinun supported this statement. He ntd. too, that threo of the city's flro engines would bo found unlU for us In case of (Ire: that it was wrong to fipend for repairs moro than enough to repair crown s,heota and Hues, when tho other mechanism of the engines were in a good stato of repair. The sewers and drains committee re ported favorably the common council ordlnanco providing for a system of sowers on portions of Kelly court, Phelps street, Wyoming avenue, Ash street to Ddlawara nnd Hudson rail road, Oakford court. Poplar street, Rreck court and forest court in the Hoventh and Thirteenth wnrds, It ivaB referred for printing Proposals for constructlnc n system of sewers In the Nineteenth district. Fifth, Fourteenth nnd Eighteenth wards, on Scrantnn and Jackson streets, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth nnd Chestnut avenues, were received ns follows nnd referred to committee: Bonohuc & O'Hoyle, $2.47ii per llnenl fool, V. II. O'Hara, $2.73 per lineal foot, $35 for cxtui manholes, $50 for extra basins and $1 per lineal foot for house connections; M. J. Gibbons, $2.35 per llnenl foot, $30 for extra manholes, S0 for extra basins and $1 per lineal foot for house connections. Common council went on record In partial support of tho city solicitor's ordnlun that councils have no right to exonerate persons from tax on real estate. Select council approved tho pe titions of several persons who sought exoneration on account of physical dis ability, poverty, etc. Common council while tecognlzlng tho worthiness of tho casos, debated Itself into the conclu sion to send tho petitions to the board of revision and appeal. MUCH ARGUMENT. There was ' much argument against Mr. Coyne's select council resolution providing for a Joint committee to de termine the best distribution of pro posed new electric lights. It was tabled with but one dissenting vote. A select council resolution was adopt ed dlrectlnc the city engineer to ex nmlno and report on the condition of the sewer on North Hyde Park avenue, between Jackson and Division streets, also the sewer through 'private prop erty between Main and Hyde Park ave nues and to report the cost of repair ing, If nny, or relaying the same. Ordinances passed third reading ns follows: For side walks on the east side of Washington avenue, between Myrtle and Poplar streets; for an ad ditional electric light In the Fifteenth, Tenth and Fifth words and three in tho Fourth ward and for an additional permanent man for the Hook and Lad der company. They were all common council measures. HE DIDN'T WALK HOME. John Malta, of Carbondale, Walked Part Way to This City. Among the thirty Carbondale voters who were hauled before the election contest examiners yesterday on sheriff's attachments, wus n gray-haired, poorly-clad and weak-looklns old man named John Malla. After he had given his testimony and explained that he had answered tho subpoena and should not have been brought in on an attach ment, he turned to the examiners and asked where he should go to get his pay. He was told ho would have to wait for that until tho contest was settled. "Rut my Heavens:" exclaimed tho old man, "the otllcer that attached me said I would get my witness fee when I came down. What's going to take me home?" "How did you get down?" some one asked, "Well, I walked part of the distance and bent my way on a coal train the other part. I had no money, and It was how I feared I'd bo sent to Jail if I didn't come. Leastways that's what the officer told me. I thought to stand the journey down all right and that my dollar would be waiting here for me to take me homo on the train. I can't at tempt to walk back, though." The old man was in a great state of worry when Mr. Scanlon, who Is assist ing in looking after the respondent's Interests, related the circumstances to County Treasurer Kelley. It Is neediest? to say that the old man didn't have to walk home. John Leydon, .Patrick Fenner, Joseph Toniurlna, Antonlu Carra and Marcus Henley all swore that they hud not been subpoenaed and the latter further stated that he did not vote at election in question. All the others, with the exception of a few who pleaded Illness, swore that they had answered the subpoena when the examiners were In session In Car bondale. ROYAL ARCANUM ELECTION.

SOMEONE STOLE A CITY DOCUMENT THE DISCOVERY SETS COMMON COUNCIL ALL IN A FLUTTER. When an Attempt Wus Mado to Con cur In Select Council's Adoption ot the New Fire Department Rules, It Waa Reported That They Had Been Stolen After n Long Siege of Sparring Over n Copy, Which Was Substituted, Meeting Broke Up in n Tangle. The members of common council were last night thrown into a stale of excitement by the discovery of tho supposed theft of the rules for tho government of the flro department. Tho rules had already caused consid erable fef ling, but the controversies of tho past have no comparison with the disorder which ruled at tho meeting last night utter two hours had already been spent in nn unusually brisk ses sion featured with strife and feeling moro intense than common. It was nearly 11 o'clock when tho meeting ndjourncd, nnd, to cap the climax of the night's excitement, a copy, which had been substituted for consideration in the absence of the or iginal fire department rules, was also taken from tho clerk's desk at the con clusion of tho meeting1 by some one whose identity Is unknown. Tho rules, which would occupy two or three columns in print, passed select council and wero partly read In the lower branch. The latter body Is sup posed to contain a tie vote which would prevent their approval there. Last night, however, Mr. Griffiths, one of those opposed to tho rules, was absent and they were called on for passage by those favoring them. Clerk Hutton retired for tho purpose of procuring them from the llles In his ofllce. He returned with tho Informa tion that the rules wero not there. President Molt was Informed that Chief Hlckey, who was present, had a copy and the former consented to a recess while the copy was procured. Meanwhile President Molr relegated the chair to Mr. Keller. MR. KELLER'S RULING. An uttempt was mado to have tho copy considered In the fifth order of business, under which concurrent mat ters, papers from tho upper branch, ore ncted upon. 'Mr. Keller ruled that the copy could not be acted upon in that order, as It was not the original, had not been ncted upon by select council and, if considered at all, ac tion should be taken on it under the sixth order, introduction of ordinances and resolutions. A debate of fifteen minutes followed. Mr. Keller refused to change his decis ion nnd surrendered the chair to Pres ident Molr, who had been seated at the clerk's desk during the latter part of the argument. After President Molr was in his seat the samo debate ensued, but ho con llrmed the rulings ot Mr. Keller In each particular. It was then 10.20 o'clock and, according to tho rulings, Clerk Hatton, under Instructions from the chair, began leading the copy. He had not progressed far when Mr. Oliv er offered an amendment. Then more argument ensued as to whether tho reading should be serlatum or In whole. At times half of the members were seeking recognition or attempting to debate the question. A motion to adopt the whole by title was ruled out of order. Even nt this point some of the members lost track of the proceedings and imagined action was in the llfth order on a concurrent measure which had passed the select branch, whereas there had been no appeal from the rulings of the regu lar and of the temporary chairman that tho copy must bo considered as new business under the sixth order. Mr. Gllroy appealed from the presi dent's decision that the rules could not be adopted by title. His followers were slow In asserting themselves, however, and a. motion to adjourn wus put and carried In the midst of great disorder. COPY" DISAPPEARED. Few members left the council cham ber without waiting to participate in the post-session argument. In the midst of which Clerk Hatton an nounced that the copy of the much abused rules hud met the fate of the original disappeared. By this time everybody had become tired of the ex citement, although all but three or four of the members were still present. They received Clerk Hatton's an nouncement with laughter or muttered exclamations that would not look well In print, uccordlng to whether they had been for or against the rules, After accusutlous, some In a spirit of fun and some In earnest, the mem bers left the building. HUSBAND AND WIFE DEAD. Fever Has Completed Its Terrible Work in Holgate Household.

S. Among Bedford's population of L'.SOO there are about two hundred cases of what Is said to bo genuine small-pox. This alarming condition of affairs was dis covered yesterday and up to that time there continued an Interrupted com mingling of the citizens of the town, Irrespective of their physical condition. Dr. W. R. Atkinson, of Philadelphia, Inspector of the state board of health, passed through here today on his re turn homo from Bedford, where he spent yesterday In diagnosing the disease that prevails from one end of tho town to the other. The Bedford physicians disagree, some pronouncing It to be chicken-pox and others a harmless skin disease. Dr. Atkinson, after a thorough examination, snys It Is genuine small pox. He himself counted one hundred and thirty cases In the town, and be lieves there are fully two hundred In all. Men, women und children, he de clared, with small-pox crusts on their bodies and faces, have been traveling the streets" day and night and visiting from house to house, unconscious of the true nature of their terrible nfllie- tlon. The rapid spread of the disease was duo to tho Inability of tho local physicians to diagnose It, not one of the practicing physicians of the town over before having treated a small-po case. Drastic measures were taken to day to prevent the contagion from spreading further. The whole town is closely quarantined, policed nnd guard ed and heroic measures will be prose cuted to check the plague. The danger to the whole central part of the state Is manifest, as people of Bedford, while infected with the disease, have been traveling far and near. George Mar tin, a member of Company A, Fifth regiment, of Huntingdon, who is afflict ed with small-pox, contracted the dli eape while playing foot ball In Bed ford from an opposing Bedford player, who at the time showed the crusts of small-pox on his face. The Hunting don school board has ordered compul sory vaccination of the pupils. Wants to Match Judge. Scrunton, Pa., Dec. S, R-VS. Sporting editor.
